Trump Organization Must Cough Up Docs on Seven Springs Engineer to NY Attorney General on 12-18-2020, Manhattan Judge Rules

Advancing an investigation likely to trail the outgoing Commander-in-Chief long into his post-presidency, a Manhattan judge ordered the Trump Organization and its attorney to turn over documents to New York Attorney General Letitia James about an engineer for a 212-acre Westchester estate.

Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron, who previously found those documents to be privileged, said his prior ruling “missed the forest for the trees,” reciting his decision following more than 1.5 hours of oral arguments.

The ruling could force the Trump Organization to divulge reams of information about engineer Ralph Mastromonaco, who was retained to develop the Seven Springs estate, one of four properties currently subject to a broad investigation into whether Eric Trump and various corporate entities improperly inflated assets to obtain tax benefits.

“By Dec. 18, 2020 the Trump Org. must produce all communications with Ralph Mastromonaco to the New York Attorney General’s office,” Engoron ruled.
